On a side note, I just saw where the mayor of potland got teargassed while getting booed by the "protesters". Personally, I find that humorous
ANTIFA = Anarchist/Socialist
BLM = Socialism/Separatism/Reparations
This is not Waco, Ruby Ridge or Wounded Knee the Federal government is protecting Federal Property. The time for petty ideological stands is drawing to a close. Getting the vapors over witnessing Federal forces in a semi Communist state won’t do any good. The fight between good and evil is afoot as always.
"I’m not afraid, but I am pissed off."
"This is an egregious overreaction on the part of the federal officers."
The "protestors had done nothing to provoke such a response from federal officers."
"This is flat-out urban warfare and it's being wrought on the people of this country by the president of the United States and it's got to stop."
Had done nothing? Really? Such peaceful protests going on in Portland by model citizens.

He has let Antifa run wild for months. This is a useful deflection from his failings.
So, has the OP come back to answer questions about his post yet, or is he just going to keep throwing chum in the water?
Feds protecting federal property
If they were just doing general riot control
I know. Thus the IF on the second one.No, in Portland it was just to protect federal buildings. That's essentially what it's been as far as I can see, except Trump's announcement to send feds to cities like Chicago to help them. And there's no evidence that this means these feds will act unilaterally. It is to "work" with locals. And I think the locals want this. I don't think that they're all that happy with all the violence.
If Trump does something it is interference and tyranny.
If Trump does nothing it is incompetent and reprehensible.
Orange Man Bad!
Do you guys consent to deploying a special squad to “handle” some misdemeanor level crime (if crime at all) on unarmed citizens trying to protest?
IÂ’m just curious of the sentiment here. Maybe itÂ’s posted elsewhere, if so please direct me.

You donÂ’t have to agree with the protesting, but do you agree with the use of these tactics?
To me, this is a bit overreaching. I mean letÂ’s say gun control starts being debated and thereÂ’s a threat of taking away guns. Does this not set precedence for the federal government to override states and deploy special forces against gun-rights activists?
This just seems very Orwellian to me.
Curious to your thoughts.
